Boiled Custard Recipe 1

Ingredients for Boiled Custard

• 2 cups scalded milk
• Yolks of 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla flavor
• A few grains of salt

Instructions

1. Beat the egg yolks slightly, add the salt and the sugar and stir constantly while adding the hot milk, in a slow stream.
2. Cook in a double boiler, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens sufficiently to coat a silver spoon; then remove at once, set into a pan of cold water, add flavor and let cool.
3. If the milk is hot, it will take but a few moments to cook the yolk sufficiently; hence great care should be exercised not to curdle the eggs.
